On October 17, 2013, the Circuit City Trust filed its First Amended Complaint ("FAC") in individual case number 11-cv-05502 (MDL Master Dkt. No. 2016).

In the Complaints, the Circuit City Trust asserts claims for relief against Defendants under the Sherman Act, the California Cartwright Act, California Consumer Protection and Unfair Competition Laws, and the Illinois Antitrust Act.
